I'm a Master Beekeeper from the University of Montana. I started to explore native bees and flowers. I have joined the Oregon Bee Project's Master Melittologist program where I'm currently in the Apprentice level. I'm also enrolled in the Oregon Master Gardener program.

I was born and raised in West Berlin, Germany where I received a degree in machine engineering. I've lived in Tanzania loving every moment. I now live in Southern Oregon not to far from Klamath Falls.
